Purpose
Prevents calls to the Operator, which could
result in operator-handled long-distance calls.
Prevents all direct-dialed long-distance calls.
Prevents calls to local Directory Assistance,
for which there is often a charge.
Prevents long-distance calls to any area code
with a 1 as the middle digit. For example: 416.
The asterisk (*) is a “wild card” character
that stands for any digit.
Prevents long-distance calls to any area code
with a 0 as the middle digit.
Restricted digits apply to the beginning of a dialed telephone
number. The “1” Restriction, for example, will prohibit long-distance
calls that begin with a 1, but will not prohibit the dialing of a number
that contains a 1 in any other position.
The two default Restrictions l*l* and l*O* together prevent any
long-distance calls outside your area code, while permitting long-
distance calls within your area code.
The maximum length of a restricted sequence is
eight characters.
The maximum number of Restrictions allowed in any Norstar
system is 30. Any or all of these Restrictions can be applied to any
line or telephone in your office system.
A call can be prevented by a Restriction placed on either the line or
the telephone being used. Restrictions applied to a telephone
affect calls on any line from that telephone. Restrictions applied to
a line affect calls on that line from any telephone set.
Restrictions that apply to a line can be easily copied as a group to
another line, using the line copy routine described near the end of
this section. Similarly, Restrictions that apply to a set can be
copied to another set. This procedure is a great time saver,
especially when new telephones or new lines are being added to an
established system.
When entering line numbers during programming, use a two-digit
format. Line numbers less than IO must be preceded by a zero.
